The Superman - Ride of Steel rollercoaster in Darien Lake, New York, reaches a maximum height of

about 208 feet. The data below displays the horizontal and vertical distances, in feet, of a
portion of the rollercoaster track.
Horizontal Distance Vertical Distance
0 3
10 23
20 43
30 63
40 83
50 103
60 123

1. Graph the data. What type of polynomial equation might reasonably be chosen to
represent these data?



2. Determine the regression function. Round to 4 decimal places. Sketch a labeled graph
of the function below.












3. When youve travelled 500 feet horizontally, what vertical height do you expect
according to your equation? Does this make sense? Explain.













4. If the rollercoaster were to roll backward, what would you expect the height to be 20 feet
back ( ? Does this make sense? Explain.
